Hand Throttle / Choke Cable Spot in Dash

[bulldog1402]

No real consensus what went in that spot right below the mirror control. Some say hand throttle and cruiserdan says choke cable.

Regardless...it annoys me and looks bad. Anybody have any suggestions on what to do with that eyesore other than to ignore it?

Thanks.

You could install a hand throttle? Handy for winching and also for onboard air if you install one...

 

[bulldog1402]

I wasn't planning on doing either. Though they are good suggestions. Thanks.

If you are referring to a 1994 LHD dash and if you are referring to the "spot" to the left of the steering wheel and if there is an open hole there, you can fill that hole with the original plug Toyota used for that purpose. 55477-10010-C0, "COVER, CHOKE KNOB HOLE".

CHOKE KNOB

Dirty old man.

 

[cruiserdan]

And?

 

[bulldog1402]

Hahaha. I might have to just do that. Price?

 

[cruiserdan]

About two and a half bucks.

 

[bulldog1402]

That is great. Putting in an order in the near future. You will hear from me.

 

[bulldog1402]

Anybody have a picture of what the part looks like?


Specifically the one cdan referenced.

 

[cruiserdan]

A black round disc thingy with a pebbled finish. About the diameter of a penny.

 

[bulldog1402]

So it looks exactly like the one directly under the ignition. Got it.

 

[bulldog1402]

Ok let's revisit this one more time for a definitive answer.

This is what I have directly under my ignition:





And this is what I have to the left of the steering wheel:





Is that round disc from picture 1 supposed to plug the hole in picture 2? If so it doesn't work and the hole I have still looks terrible.

Thanks for any help.

 

[Arya Ebrahimi]

The plugs for the two respective holes look similar in appearance, but are different sizes.

 

[MaddBaggins]

Well, the round disc from pic one is the same round disc that covers the hole in pic 2 on my 94.I never tried to swap them though. Maybe the PO modified the hole.

I have the same configuration on the LH side of my dash.

I could swear it had a cover when i bought the truck and it went missing during the stereo upgrade, but, *shrug*

Not surprising. If you do not remove it before you drop that panel it wil go flying across the shop when you pop the panel loose. Try finding one on a gravel driveway.......

Mine are visibly different in size on both my 93 and my 94, so I know it's not just an oddity on one vehicle.

Worst part is i could swear i got one from someone parting out and that the 2nd one has evaporated as well.

Does it have a part number?
